//How to be a Presentation Ninja//Powerpoint doesn’t kill people - Poorly used Powerpoint kills people! We’ve all sat through that boring conference session, after school meeting, or keynote speech. The slide is illuminated in front of us - 19 year old clip art, a garish colour scheme, whizzing text and abusive sounds, and line after line of text that the speaker reads - your head hurts, your eyes close, you slump down in your chair and Ppppht! Dead. This session will go through the easy steps of how to liven up any presentation by dumping the templates, embracing Creative Commons, and limiting the number of words per slide to create a truly engaging presentation slidedeck. Zing! Now your presentation makes people lean forward, become engaged, and are eager for your message. Presentation Resources: http://thedaringlibrarianpresents. wikispaces.com
